Boris does not rule out targeted fare reduction

Boris Johnson remains tight-lipped when it comes to one of the key issues of the last election campaign, revealing nothing when it comes to the possibility of fare rises next year.

He will not rule out targeted fare reduction but does not sound too enthusiastic about it either.

He repeats his election assertion that any Transport for London operating surplus is a pot to plunder for reducing fares but says all used to improve transport across the capital.

Back to cleaner air in London, Boris Johnson reveals that TfL is to look at the use of exemptions from the congestion charge, as a way of improving air quality.
